The ASC has a dedicated Scientific Program Committee that is responsible for planning the educational programs for the society's annual meeting as well as symposia or presentations that are made at other national meetings on behalf of the ASC. Evaluation of data from prior meetings, changes in the profession and advances in medicine related to pathology/cytopathology are important sources of information used by the scientific program committee to plan ASC educational activities.
This ASC Symposium will use a case based format to bring forward unusual cases that were accurately diagnosed (homerun) or incorrectly diagnosed (strikeout) by our senior mentors and teachers in the field of cytopathology. The cases will be those that stand out in the minds of these experienced cytopathologists and could be gynecologic, non gynecologic or fine needle aspiration/with or without core biopsies. Each case will be presented in the manner it was handled at the time of primary diagnosis; a discussion of any recent advances - diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic - for the entity being discussed will be included in the case presentations. We know from experience that participants often learn from and enjoy a case based format over a lecture often time, especially in late evening conferences and our objective is to bring to the participants morphologic/clinical and scientific information related to the practice of cytopathology in a non-lecture format. Each case presentation will be about 15-17 minutes and there will be an opportunity for questions after each case.
At the end of the program, participants will a) learn about various clinical/morphologic pitfalls and/or clues as well as new scientific information on these cases presented by senior pathologists with extensive experience in cytopathology, and b) be able to "take home" lessons learned by the experts so that they may use them in their own practice.
